I don't really know who to ask or tell this to but it's always been a concern of mine how the arts in the southern part of the United States aren't really a major venue, with the exception of the state of Texas. Continuing along that line why aren't there any major conservatories or schools of music in the souther part of the US?
It seems that the northern most states, particularly the New England states have the highest concentration of arts patronage. I would like to see some conservatories spring up in the southern states such as Alabama, Georgia, Florida... I think that this might be a reason why the "Top Five" orchestras in the US are primarily found in the north.

The East coast of the US is significantly older than the Southern/West coast and had a much higher populationm density for quite some time, along with much of America's weath. The arts are an expensive proposition, both in terms of financial and community. It would only make sense that the top conservatories would start in the East coast area.
It then takes decades of work to build up the infrastructure and attract the requisite "top name" teachers.

Aside from the title, and relative to your particular instrument, I think you can find conservatory like environments at a couple of schools in the south that could work for you. Florida State turns out exceptional clarinet players. Dr. Frank Kowalsky is the clarinet professor there. Robert Listokin is one of the notable Bonade students who is reknown as not only a great player but teacher as well. One of his students,Daniel McKelway is Associate principal clarinet with the Cleveland Orchestra. Mr. Listokin teaches at the North Carolina School Of the Arts. These two schools are both looking into if you want pursue a clarinet performance degree.

Bill McColl teaches at U. of Washington in Seattle - he specializes in early music & basset horn if you're interested in pursuing that line of music.
